The Pilgrims of Saint Sebastian
()
About this ebook
There are many favelas in Rio de Janeiro, but Mundão is the poorest. And in this poor community, three people will change forever. A Catholic priest with an ignominious past, a female drug kingpin who has suffered the taboos of Brazilian society, and a washed-up American musician with nothing left to live for. As they struggle with their demons, the world around them is changing. The government plans to pacify Mundão with a crushing police invasion.
The Pilgrims of Saint Sebastian is a novel about the forces and moments that shape our lives. Religious extremism, desperation and suffering, the politics of a changing nation, and the corruption of childhood. This is a novel about the dangers of modernism, which sometimes charges the highest price from those least willing to pay.
